Please stop flooding our projects with AI slop to furnish your CV

Open-source maintainers report a surge in pull requests and security reports that are AI-generated, often containing only minor fixes or CVE claims. Many contributors with little prior activity submit AI-written PRs for spelling, grammar, or low-severity vulnerabilities, prompting maintainers to reject them to avoid rewarding trivial or automated contributions. The trend reflects a shift toward using LLMs to inflate GitHub activity for personal benefit.
